Bellinger Hits a Home Run but it doesn't count, a breakdown 

also, subscribe to Jomboy Media baseball, its pretty cool, no bias ru-vid.com/show-UCBds9k2jbzHldPVEn6rSayQ

Congrats on the pin!

This is my question, though: doesn't the ball, being over the fence, deem the rest of the play as dead, so anything that happens after the ball has left the field doesn't matter?

@@ilikebooks6 actually no. That’s not the rule.

@@ilikebooks6 nope you still have to run the bases in the normal way- cannot pass any other runner on base....usually not an issue of course.

I kind of liked it, picked it up like it was a penny and cruised back to his seat. Dudes a pimp

@@BoomBaby879 and he probably fooled the runner as well. Saved the Rockies a run.

Honestly maybe if he had jumped up like happy he got the ball turner would have seen that and known that it had gone over and it not turned back towards first. Fan knew what he was doing.

Well the guy is clearly a Rockies fan. Makes sense he wouldn't be excited about a Dodgers home run even if he snags the ball. Still weird that he didn't at least show it to the crowd or something.

The crowd would probably pressure him into throwing it back since it's hit by the opposite team. This way he gets to keep the ball without trouble. Just my guess.

The man had a David Dahl jersey on, what do you expect?

Can confirm

Cardinals fans are happy about the Arenado Trade lol

Is that a fucking jojo reference?

Justin Turner shouldn't even be playing right now. He should be serving a suspension for returning to the field without a mask after testing positive for COVID. MLB proved its COVID policies are worthless. It's really no surprise that someone willing to endanger dozens of people like that is a clueless moron.

@May Notreply Not being a scumbag makes me a Karen? lmao Whatever you say, scumbag.

That’s not very nice.

@May Notreply Hes right

have you see aristides aquino batting stance?

It's so damn chill. Like he's there because he has to be not because he wants to be. It works tho so I wont knock it

Verdugo

@@Luke-ck5wi I was going to say Vergudo as well

edwin encarnacion too

This is the first one I've noticed and I loved it in the top left corner when Colorado dude got the ball

I cracked up so much after seeing it, this one'll be hard to top for sure

We need it in every breakdown

this one caught me so off guard

Wait what face edits

DUDE IT MAKES SENSE NOW LOL

That’ll be hilarious

I as a Yankee fan was extremely salty when Judge was robbed of a home run back in 2017 because he was on pace to break the rookie home run record.

@@ChronicIntel2 at least he did anyway

Al Kaline was actually robbed of 400 career home runs sort of this way. In a 1958 game, he homered in the second inning, but the game was rained out in the fourth and therefore cancelled, with no stats from the game counting. He finished his career with 399 home runs.

@@HufflepuffBaseball42313 nice. Al Kaline and I share the same first names

The breakdowns have been back forever

@@ptx_rj Yes but now it’s gonna be things that just happened in baseball. It ain’t gonna be old stuff that already happened a long time ago

Not bad for a running back.

What if the real breakdowns were the friends we made along the way?

credit the fan! haha played it intentionally to cause confusion

exactly, totally believable he intentionally did that to make it seem like he caught it

Lol, his baseball IQ was thru the charts

Yeah I came here to say the same thing haha that was freaking nuts, he knew exactly what he was doing. Or he's a pyschopath. I have actually seen guys get out by crossing back past a base runner before once or twice but not off a weird home run or because a fan was involved, obviously 🤣

Nah fuck the fan, that shit is disgusting!!!! It’s unprofessional and unsportsmanlike

He got to fuck over the opponents and get a free ball.

I'm reluctant to give him that much credit but if he was intentionally deking the players, then he might as well be Keyser Soze.

This. Dude saved his team a run.😂

Nah that wasn't intentional. No way Turner could see that guy. He saw the ball hit the glove and started high-tailing it back to first. That guy wasn't excited because it was a home run from the visiting team and the Dodgers just took the lead.

@@Phyrre56 ^^ Exactly this.

Seems like a snake

exactly what i was thinking! 😂

Same lol

That was quick though!!! Jomboy on the ball!!!!

Yup

WOAH NO WAY ITS ALMOST LIKE HE BREAKS DOWN SPORTS BLOOPERS WOW YOU’RE A GENIUS YOU FIGURED IT ALL OUT

No he didn't. He was actually on a local sports radio show yesterday, and the reason he wasn't excited about getting the ball is because he's a Rockies fan, he has had season tickets in that spot for years, and over the years, he has gotten 107 home run balls sitting in that spot. It just isn't a big deal to him, especially if it's a HR from the opposition.

@@avshockey6633 when something is not a big deal then you don't react. Maybe he got up just to say, ah it's only my 108 HR.

@@avshockey6633 So​ he​ did​ his​ job unintentionally.​ He​ should​'ve​ kept that​ ball​ as​ a​homerun-robbed ball​ because​ it​ is​ unlike other​ 107 balls​ he'​s​ got​ and​ it​ is​ very​ rare.

@@avshockey6633 Somebody actually listened to my interview with Dmac lol.

@@flameofanor8252 Actually, I thought it was 108th, but ended up being my first "single".

Exactly. He botched it, totally.

Yeah he should've just waited 1-2 seconds to see if Tapia actually had the ball but hindsight is 20/20 and I'm Rockies fan so we'll take the outs however we can get them this year lol

If MLB the Show had an awareness rating his would be 11

Yeah, and not running more than a bag on a fly ball is some like coach pitch shit.

And THAT’s why the fan who caught the ball bluffed. Smart fucking fan.

It was all turners fault lmao

Im still confused why it wasnta 2 run homer when the play was dead lol

Or if anything stopped the play at man on 1st and 2nd base

@@christinajohn8481 because you actually have to run the bases if you hit a home run for it to count. All the normal baserunning rules are still live, thus Belli being out when Turner crossed home.

They would've told him to throw it back

@@marcusdurrell1087 not sure if the Rockies park is one them but in some stadiums throwing the ball back in play is illegal

then theow the all back

And Bellinger just letting him run by him is not idiotic on his own part?

@@Dead_Goat he was clearly signaling him to go back and Turner didnt listen and was completely unaware.

@@Dead_Goat did you watch the video, or just go straight to the comments?

450*

Mr. 3000

Acidic or....?

Wonder if Turner took away the hr bellinger would need to pass bonds? Crazy shit.

@@2corinthians5-19 crazy lol

Glove rule double

Great analogy! This is similar to when that guy on the Pirates hit a homerun but was out cause he didn’t touch first base. It’s someone almost doing something amazing, but then completely giving the other team help.

fumbled out of the endzone isnt counter intuitive lol

@@ggogether diving for the pylon, fumbling out of bounds in the endzone, other team gets the ball on the 20. Bullshit lol.

@@LooterLoser yeah u didnt score, other team got the stop at the goal line. they get the ball.. if it fumbles out of bounds u get the ball. defense gets rewarded for stopping the touchdown at goal line lol

While it was more subtle, I was more jarred by the editing Obama into the stands behind the guy that got the ball.

Just a little c.y.a. while helping him get some zzzzz as he gives people incentive to open a gambling account

In some parks, fans are under pressure to throw back visiting teams' home runs. Fan probably did it like that so he could keep the ball.

allowed

kind of wonder if that isn't what he was going for, not just a happy coincidence

Maybe but I think turner was looking at the glove and the ball not the fan

That dude is a total stoner.

Why?

@@ThunderPants13 cause he looks and talks like a stoner. He seems very absent minded lots of times. Even though it was Turner’s fault here, the fact that Beli was involved in the confusion is hilarious

Not exactly. You are watching the bases to make sure all runners touch all bases BECAUSE after the runners are off the field and in the dugout and the plate umpire says play ball, the pitcher can appeal and say “Second runner missed 3rd base” and be called out. In my umpiring life, I’ve seen several people miss a base on a home run but only once did someone appeal it, and he won the appeal. Of course, the player was the 1st baseman (who was also an umpire in my association) and the guy hitting the homer was stopped by his 1st base coach for a high five while rounding first and he missed the bag. The first baseman said “Hey blue, you saw that didnt you?” I’m not allowed to say or tip off that I saw anything. He has to go through the process of a legal appeal. But he did good to “work me” and I knew what he meant. I can’t say the hitter or the coach was happy with me when I rung him up. I got called every name in the book and had to eject them, and that prick first baseman did nothing to back me up to the other team confirming that he did miss it!

@@Mark-sj3xb There aren't verbal appeals at the MLB level. He would have to step off and throw the ball over to the relevant base, then announce the appeal as the base is tagged.

I mean, it's one reason. Mostly they tell you to make sure they touch all the bases because If you don't, then the runner can be called out if the opposite team appeals it.

@Coding Crusader how hard is it to touch a base? It's pretty stupid if you can't touch four bases in my opinion.

@@hbk314 there’s no verbal appeals in little league either man, the players have to do it themselves the play after, the coaches just yell at em to do it lol

at least he lost weight

He should have started the season on a suspension for that, but MLB under Manfred is becoming a joke.

@@hbk314 no one got sick... clown

@@HiroSakaiDrLeon Even if that's true, it's irrelevant.

@@hbk314 it means it was a false positive

The season is way too long and grindy to take every run seriously. If they got bothered every time something went wrong, they'd end up as a pretty mentally weak player

i agree

Bro what else was he supposed to do? If he thought the ball was caught he needs to run back to first. This is squarely on the umpires not making a call on time

Also the rule is fucking dumb when applied to home runs. It makes no sense

@@chaseclark238 he's supposed to watch the outfielder to make sure it's caught and being thrown back, and listen to the 3rd/1st base coach.

I think that rule needs changed! Agreed, if the home run is hit then anything that happens on the base paths after should be null and void!

Especially with review. And taking away the HR and letting Turner score makes even less sense.

Exactly!!!!!

Jose Martinez said the exact same thing right before you

@@liamthomas3666 honestly didn't even see it until I posted my comment. Jomboy fans just know 😂😂

@@ProjectP16 I guess so

Sloppy-game all around. This play, an error leading to a run scored, three wild pitches that led to runs scored. And also some bad umpiring. Thank god our batters got a lot of contact at least. It wasn’t the best opening day by any means but it definitely wasn’t the worst. Dodgers could’ve won this game if they had capitalized, im sure they bounce back tomorrow

I mean usually dodgers dont do well opening day, but we’ll get up there

@@Double_You1 Yup, so many infield hits were hit right at Seager or Lux and just couldn't make the plays. Kershaw executed his pitches and kept the ball in the park, which is what I was worried about on a warm day at Coors.

momentum? what momentum?

Don't do the s thing anymore

No it wasn’t

That's what I've been saying the dodgers still suck. They won cause it was a covid year. If covid never would of happened they wouldn't have won last year. That's forsure. Cause it wasnt the same with no fans no pressure and bunch of teams felt like they couldnt play with their best cause of the virus. And some of the best players didnt even play. These are just facts unfortunately but whoever wins this season is the real champion! :D.

And was waaaay too happy about it

Nope. It isn't a home run if the batter doesn't touch each base in order, including home plate. By your way of thinking, if a batter hits the ball over the fence, he could just walk straight back to the dugout.

@@philipwebb960 My point is more that once the homerun is called it should be a dead ball and things that are supposed to happen, happen, instead of this convoluted "The play is over but not really." mentality.

I disagree. There is one way to score a point in baseball: touch all four bases, in order, without being called out. We don't need to create a new way of scoring because some players are so completely without situational awareness that they manage to screw up the play, even after the opposing team literally cannot stop them. It would be like hockey deciding to award an automatic point if a player ever got a breakaway on an empty net, because fans got disappointed seeing some players miss their shot.

@@boosterh1113 That is completely different, during a breakaway the puck is still in play, when a homerun is hit, the ball is not in play anymore, that is the difference and a major one at that. It isn't a new way of scoring, a home run is still a home run, oh, unless it is something like this where a home run isn't a home run, weird isn't it?

@@brakthalas I just don't feel the need to change the rules to insulate teams from their own incompetence. If you can't manage to successfully round the bases when the other team literally cannot get the ball, then that is 100% the fault of the scoring team, and they deserve to lose the point. If you don't like the hockey analogy, try basketball: In a free throw, the play is blown dead, and the defending team is forbidden from interfering with the shooter. But it still isn't an automatic point, the shooter still has to successfully put the ball through the basket, because putting the ball through the basket is how you score points in basketball. Same thing for baseball. In order to score, you need to round the bases. Hitting a home run means that the defending team can't stop you, but just like a basketball player can airball a free throw, a baseball team can screw up its own baserunning.

Epic

It's illegal to throw it back at Coors Field, automatic ejection, so the only people that throw them back are the drunk fans that then get immediately escorted from the park. 3rd inning on Opening Day isn't a good time to get ejected.

@@dansauvageau8530 lol I didnt know that, gotta love the late inning drunk guys

Probably required by the sponsor, who is probably required to by law.

@@Trisket still

@@Trisket yes it is required by law. But you could also be a dick about it and flash it for like one second and get away with it. So at least you can hear him.

How about more respect if he wasnt pushing and promoting the gambling...

The fielder faked the throw. Turner was fooled, and should have kept his head up to possibly pick up the first base coach in time, but it is harsh to say he blew it.

Sorry this one in the Umps . They didn't make an " expedient " call ,thus confusing all involved.

@@str8shot216 It's called lousy base running cuh.

The MLB minimum salary in 2021 stood at a handsome 570.5 thousand U.S. dollars. It's not too much to ask the players to know the rules for half a million a year.

@@The22ndDoctor there's a lot of rules man

Ikr lol

Why? A home run is just like any other play: you have to touch all four bases (following all the relevant rules) to score. MLB doesn't need to change the rules because some players don't have the minimal situational awareness and communication skills not to run past their teammates (and listen to the bloody base coach while running). Turner should have seen Bellinger running towards him on the basepath and known something was wrong, instead of just barrelling back without pause.

Same here

Same

Excited for the opposing team's home run? It would have been a lot different if it was a Rockies home run.
